Brain damage can impact one's ability to learn in various ways depending on which area of the brain is affected. Damage to different lobes of the brain can lead to problems with movement coordination, vision, language, memory, and self-care skills. Brain damage is caused by conditions such as illness, injury, aneurysms, strokes, surgeries, and physical trauma. While some cases have mild effects that can be cured over time, brain damage can also be fatal in severe cases and result in death. Potential treatments include surgery, pills, injections, but some types of brain damage cannot be cured.
